Ron Howard's commitment to make a movie of Frost/Nixon (with the play's stars Frank Langella and Michael Sheen) wasn't as intuitive for producer Brian Grazer. He had to be convinced that a 30-year-old story could be appealing to contemporary audiences who weren't there when it happened.

Director Catherine Hardwicke discusses "the most potent feelings" behind Twilight with AMC News Correspondent Jacob Soboroff while co-star Christian Serratos admits that she's "never seen a fanbase this dedicated." Regarding the fans themselves (who camped out on the concrete the night before the Hollywood premiere), Soboroff learns that they came from as far as Honduras and Australia and fall into two camps: one pro-Edward (Robert Pattinson) and the other pro-Jacob (Taylor Lautner).

John McCain Holds Up the W. Premiere

The red carpet arrivals for Oliver Stone's W. at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City on Tuesday was pretty outrageous. Not because of the movie or the stars, but due to one of the stranger coincidences in movie premiere history: Senator John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee, was staying at the Hilton Hotel across the street. Apparently there wasn't much coordination between the premiere folks and the Secret Service. As we were setting up for the premiere, McCain was due to arrive (and did -- which I got on my Flip cam), so the premiere was actually pushed back by half an hour. The whole thing was nuts. Check it out for yourself.
